Highlights
Pet care experience
Cats-only sitter in South Philly
I've got several years of sitting on Rover under my belt, but even before that often came in to help out friends, family and neighbors with cat care. I'm comfortable giving liquid and pill medications, happy to handle specialized feeding requests, and knowledgeable about the latest developments in litter box technology.

Safety, trust & environment
I offer all clients a complimentary in-person meet and greet before my first visit, and that provides me with an opportunity to learn your cat's routine and needs. We will go over your safety and care checklist for home visits at that time, or in messages if you're not able to meet in person. I like to make sure cats get the extra attention they may require, whether it be playtime, a special treat or making sure a favorite perch is comfortable and next to a window, so please don't hesitate to tell me what their preferences are.
Ratings and reviews
I cannot thank Susan enough for her help! She jumped in last minute to care for our needy boys. With patience (and magic?) she got our shy guy out of hiding to not only eat during our absence, but to accept pets and playtime. She also gave our outgoing guy all the snuggles and attention he craves. Susan’s thorough updates and pics were crucial in putting this anxious cat mom’s mind at ease. Will 100% book with Susan again.
Susan is a fantastic and communicative sitter!
My go to person for looking after my fur babies. She very clearly cares about the well being and care of my cats and my cats are crazy about her! Will continue to use Susan for all my pet sitting needs. Highly recommend to anyone needing a pet sitter.
As always, Susan sent me great photos and a delightful narrative for each of her visits to my cat Leonard!
Our cats love Susan so much they barely mind us going on vacation! :-)
Susan is the best sitter we could ever ask for. We always know our cats are happy and well cared for when we are away. We don’t know what we would do without her!

Schedule
I’m available during business hours and for evening and weekend visits in South Philly. My main neighborhoods are East Passyunk/Passyunk Sq, Dickinson Sq, Pennsport, and Bella Vista/Italian Market. When my schedule allows, I will take bookings outside of that area, but generally stay south of South Street, north of Snyder and west of Broad. I’m happy to talk about your pet’s special scheduling needs if medications are involved, but if you're looking for someone who can do daily visits 12 hours apart (for diabetic cats or other medications where there can't be an hour or two of lag) starting before 8 am, I usually can't take those as my working hours cap out at 10. Please let me know if you have additional housesitting needs, as I'm happy to keep an eye out for packages, water plants and set out trash and recycling while you are away.
